Key Takeaways:

  1. Home exercises are crucial for managing Cerebral Palsy (CP).
  2. Physical therapy and massage help reduce spasticity and improve joint mobility.
  3. Children with high muscle tone benefit from regular stretching and movement.
  4. For low muscle tone (hypotonia), playful activities or swimming can encourage movement.
  5. Consistent home-based exercises support long-term mobility and independence.

Physical therapy and massage is very effective for a child with Cerebral Palsy(CP) who has spasticity with increased muscle tone and reduced mobility at the joints. Engage a child with hypotonic muscles i.e. low muscle tone in movement to the extent possible through play or swimming exercises for better mobility in the future.
